Dana was born on December 14, 1961 in Cushing, Oklahoma to Orvin and Dorothy (Farrell) Cross. She loved playing family games, including the annual family Wahoo tournament for prizes. She also enjoyed playing Yatzee, Spades, Telefunky, and Cribbage with Larry.
Dana enjoyed interacting with people and loved her family. She liked going out for lunch dates, whether it be McDonalds or a fancier restaurant. Dana treasured the visits she had going back home, and was excited about some day moving back home with her sister, Lesa. Dana loved talking and laughing; she had such an infectious laugh. She was an animal lover, big and small, but her favorite would be dogs. She would even chase her dear sister around the yard with snakes from the rose bush. Dana was loved by so many and will be dearly missed.
Dana was preceded in death by her dear mother, Dorothy Marie (Farrell) Cross.
